Study of the Relationship between some Physical Properties of Selected Soils in Babylon, Central Iraq

The research is based on five selected soil sites in Babylon, Iraq, and aims to find the relationship between the physical properties of the soil. Where five samples were taken at different depths with a description of the soil for them in the fieldwork stage. As for the laboratory investig...
